The Opening Ceremony is over and the battling has begun! In the spirit of global unity, I thought it would be fun to have a thread to spread our Olympic love! GoW is such a diverse game and it always amazes me to discover I’m chatting with ppl from all over the globe. Pop in and root for your country! Let’s see how many countries GoW represents in these Olypmics! May the best man/woman/team/country win!!! ---

Team goblins will sneak their way to victory in the soccer games. Elves have all of track and field covered. Or do you mean regular non gow countries. ---

I meant irl Olypmics. But GoW Olympics could be fun too! I would have pegged the elves for archery btw! Also, don’t count out the dwarves for some of the track and field. They have shot put and hammer throw on lockdown!! 😉 ---

@Studs, unless a catastrophe happens then I think the men’s and women’s basketball team will win gold also (USA). ---

It’s the USA (&China) show for sure. I’m glad as a Belgian, that we already took home a gold medal. It makes all the difference for such a small country. And it inspires all our other athletes! I just want to watch the Dream Team steamroll the competition. Also fun to see Phelps back, and scoring!
